Mobipocket sells ebooks, but it also distributes ebooks to other retail websites. Amazon is of the retailers. If Amazon chooses to sell some ebooks for less than retail, it doesn't matter to the publisher because the publisher's cut is based on the suggested retail price. The amount the publisher is paid doesn't change if the ebook is sold for less.

So in other words, Mobi can sell the ebook for whatever price it chooses, as long as it pays the correct percentage of the agreed retail price? Or have I misunderstood...
